"A moving, fascinating performance combining words and music, as Sandra Evans Falconer becomes various characters involved in some way with the fated ship. Anyone interested in the Titanic will love this remembrance."– Deborah L. Bors, Editor, Johns Hopkins University Press

Introducing Sandra Evans Falconer...

“These poems are cat-like in their mystery and grace, magical, able to leap between worlds and still come for the morning milk. The reader is riveted…”

Notes on Sandra’s first play, The Lucky Spot Dance

In 1993, when Sandra was living in Baltimore, she began writing a series of narrative poems about her relationship with her brother, Steven. In April of 1996, Steven passed away at his home in Philadelphia. Bonni Goldberg, Sandra’s mentor at the time, asked her: How can we remember our loved ones except in our memories and in our dreams?

Gradually, Sandra’s poems changed into a stage play titled, The Lucky Spot Dance. At the heart of the dance, where memory lives on, and and the lucky spot shines, is a central question: What do you do when you love someone you can’t save?
